Show 1012 " A I got mixed up; I think I was at Lawler in March when Seaboldt and Evans came down; Mr. Evans got me to do the boating, just running the light boat, my light boat, between Hite and Good Hope, about eighteen miles up and down the river; I think it was in March, or the first of April." R. 2394. The light boat of which he speaks is the boat he used on the river in 1911 for Seaboldt and was about eighteen feet long. There was no power on the boat, it being used just to bring supplies down to the bars from Hite. Sometimes the mail would stop at Hite. Seaboldt had the mail brought in himself; there was no regular mail carrier; the mail was discontinued there. R. 2394- 2395. The drilling outfit used was one left there years before by other people. He noticed that the channel changed on the river with nearly every different stage of water. After leaving the drilling outfit, he went out to Greenriver with his team to get supplies. He was with the drilling outfit from March to May. He left his team at Lawler' place at Hite and after going to Greenriver for supplies he came back with the team and went to his ranch. This was in July or August [ 1915]. He didn't stay at the ranch long but went back to Hanksville for part of the winter. His next experience on the Colorado River was in company with Ellsworth L. Kolb in 1916, commencing about eight or nine miles above Glenwood Springs, and boating on down through Westwater Canyon to the Cisco Pump house in Utah. R. 2395- 2396. ( Note: Discussion by counsel, R. Vol. 13, pp. 2397). " MR. BLACKMAR: Then let it be conceded his testimony on that trip would be substantially the same as Mr. Kolb's." R. 2497. |
